PMAA Sends Letters to Congress in Support of the DRIVE-Safe Act

Recently, Senators Todd Young (R-IN) and Jon Tester (D-MT) reintroduced the bipartisan “Developing Responsible Individuals for a Vibrant Economy Act,” also known as the “DRIVE-Safe Act,” and Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN) reintroduced a companion bill in the House. The bill would allow drivers 18 and older to operate across state lines if they meet rigorous training requirements. The training requirements would include at least 400 hours of on-duty time with 240 hours of driving time with an experienced driver training them. Training would also be restricted to trucks equipped with active braking systems, video monitoring systems and speed limiters set to 65 mph or slower.
